Not yet she doesn't, I'm holding you in reserve!

Fine album, an early one in my Jazz listening. I hear you about him, I think Ulmer is all kind of different but also rooted in some pretty deep tradtion. Fascinating musician. Wish I had seen him live sometime.

Joe Henderson - The Elements [Milestone, 1974] and before John Haycock - Dorian Portrait [Second Thoughts Records, UK 2023, 2nd pressing] Sound tactics @HutchFan, my partner's even stopped raising her eyebrows...but if she does I'll just show her @Pim's recent post about his Japanese delivery 🙄

Thanks for the tip off.

I've found out more about the film but not about the soundtrack, streamable here if you are at all interested https://cinedelic.bandcamp.com/album/gangsters-70

Egisto Macchi - Gangsters '70, ost [Cinedelic Records, Italy 2023] I'd love to know more about this soundtrack. Some great free-ish Jazz throughout. Only person credited other than Macchi is Walter Branchi which was a recommendation in itself. Paging @Teasing the Korean, any ideas? Purchased solely on speck off the description on Honest Jon's website.

Harry South Big Band - Presenting [Mercury, UK 1966] So good

The only time I've seen Harper. Thanks to Gilles Peterson who arranged the great night

Thanks a lot

The seller has three others so these may be just the first instalment

The first Japanese issue, I think

And the fact that the new logo looks like a dystopian proto-fascist organisation's armband symbol doesn't help a lot either. Which Jazz insta accounts do you recommend?

Are they considered so, I had no idea. that's good to hear. I just took a Discogs punt as they scratch a musical itch

'Patterns', you lucky man you! Hope it's a nice walk

Poor grading, such a pain Today's arrivals, hoping they're well graded

Tasty lineup, thanks for posting this. I wasn't aware of it.

Yes and Yes, so pleased to see them mentioned. Love Jay Farrar's work, such a shame he never comes to the UK. Son Volt's recent Doug Sahm tribute is a killer. And of course, let's add Doug Sahm to the playlist too

I think they're pricing off Discogs, currently £89 - £122, without VAT added. Current highest price sold is £89, median £49. I don't deny it's mad but it's where the market's got to unfortunately. Mind you, it hasn't sold 😁 Is the album any good? Not sure I have heard it.

Not so compared to current Discogs listings I didn't think but maybe I didn't check closely enough. I bought a couple of those one-offs and they at least compared ok Ha! That makes me even more inclined to do the same All this chat about this I had to listen to my copy, a Liberty. No sound issues yet

Or two... Yes, HJ don't tend to overinflate

Wolfgang Lackerschmid & Chet Baker - Welcome Back Later Chet is an unknown territory for me, apart from 'Peace', so I was very pleased to find he'd recorded with Lackerschmid who I've enjoyed elsewhere. This is a lovely album

I think 'True Blue' is one of the higher priced, fewer sold originally I think I might just go in and see if I can hold it 😃

Fine album

Pleased to be of service. Now I need to check out the one you confused it with, I don't know it Honest J's have an original 'True Blue' for sale. It'll cost you £3000 to complete your set...

Side one is fairly full on with the horns playing loud and fast a lot of the time over and alongside the percussion. As with much of Graves's music there's such musicality and interest in his drummimg that it's almost the lead instrument. Side two is a contrast, Graves on piano and vocals, as Clifford points out brings a whole different perspective. The music's not as fast or as loud but intensely musical and focussed, a quiet storm. great album, so pleased to have a copy, finally They most certainly are. i find him an endlessly fascinating musician in whichever context i come across him
